But it was really books, especially Thomas Keller’s French Laundry Cookbook, that gave me the desire to just drop everything and learn to cook.”

Sunflower Seeds. Black-oil sunflowers seeds are the best single food for wild birds. These small, thin-shelled seeds are easy to open, rich in fat and protein, and inexpensive. Virtually every bird that visits a backyard bird feeder eats black-oil seeds. Striped sunflower seeds are larger and have thicker shells than oil seeds. They are favorites of cardinals, jays, and woodpeckers, and can be cast on the ground or presented in tube or hopper style feeders.

When it comes to watermelons, chances are you’re wasting perfectly good food every time you take a juicy bite. First, the white part of the rind is totally edible. You can chop it up to throw in a stir-fry or pickle the rind for a delicious snack. But the real health surprise comes within the peskiest part of a watermelon—the seeds. Watermelon seeds have almost every nutrient you can name—protein, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals, says Elizabeth Somer, R.D.N., the author of Eat Your Way to Happiness. "Why toss away something that’s so good for you when they taste great?" she says. "The seeds are rich in vitamin E—one of the nutrients many people don’t get enough of—and phytonutrients, which some tend to be lacking in." Plus, they add visual appeal and crunch to dishes, she points out. (Check out this genius gadget that slices watermelon mess-free.)

DEAR MARY: Dried, raw peas are included in some wild-bird and chicken feed, so the peas themselves wouldn’t be harmful. They might not be too appetizing, however, and probably only the larger birds in your yard would be able to digest them.
